ICCF Garden

The plot, a corner site on Hengshan Road, has four existing buildings that are dotted around a landscaped garden with mature trees. The fashion group ICCF use the small-scale buildings dating from the 1920s and 1990s, some of which are protected as historic monuments, as shops for its ICICLE and CARVEN fashion brands, as well as for exhibitions, a bookshop, and eateries.

During the restoration, the holistic appearance of the ensemble was developed based on the architectural style of the listed buildings – a former fire station and a garden villa from the 1920s. Both buildings were largely restored to their original designs. The two buildings from the 1990s were remodeled in such a way that, with their simple shapes, they can easily be recognized as new buildings although the facade structure, materials, and the arch motif were adopted from the older buildings, an approach that was also used for the ICICLE flagship store at Avenue George V in Paris.

Embedded in a garden landscape that has evolved over more than a century, a place for fashion and culture has been created that combines the historic ambience with the modern elegance of the ICCF label.
